<h2 id="data-and-services">Data and services</h2> <p>Biological data and services available on <i>BeeBase</i> included: </p> <ul><li><a href="/facts/DNA/nB89Iauz">DNA</a> and <a href="/facts/Protein_sequence/QNBoERdu">protein sequence</a> data</li> <li>official bee <a href="/facts/Gene/e1swwPY6">gene</a> set (developed by and hosted at Beebase)</li> <li><a href="/facts/Genome/31Sm08JT">genome</a> browser</li> <li>linkage maps</li> <li>server to search the honey bee genome using <a href="/facts/BLAST_(biotechnology)/uWufGxFH">BLAST</a></li></ul> <h3>Services</h3> <p>In Feb 2007, <i>BeeBase</i> consisted of a GBrowser-based genome viewer and a <a href="/facts/CmapTools/Pna9cou0">Cmap</a>-based comparative map viewer, both modules of the <a href="/facts/Generic_Model_Organism_Database/gcMmv9gc">Generic Model Organism Database</a> (GMOD) project. The genome viewer included tracks for known honey bee genes, predicted gene sets (Ensembl, NCBI, EMBL-Heidelberg), <a href="/facts/STS_marker/pRshdIBz">STS markers</a> (Solignac and Hunt linkage maps), honey bee <a href="/facts/Expressed_sequence_tag/yS3x0IvH">expressed sequence tags</a> (ESTs), homologs in <a href="/facts/Drosophila_melanogaster/KtnHVCcB">fruit fly</a>, <a href="/facts/Mosquito/u8hTMTfc">mosquito</a> and other insects and <a href="/facts/Transposable_element/WbVMhuWR">transposable elements</a>. The honey bee comparative map viewer displayed linkage maps and the physical map (genome assembly), highlighting markers that are common among maps. </p><p>Additionally, a <a href="/facts/Quantitative_trait_locus/ztEdNEJg">QTL</a> viewer and a <a href="/facts/Gene_expression/alCPohLR">gene expression</a> database were planned. The <a href="/facts/Genome_sequence/tjhWET4V">genome sequence</a> was to serve as a reference to link these diverse data types. </p><p>Beebase organized the community annotation of the bee genome in collaboration with <a href="/facts/Baylor_College/UYHcAkf8">Baylor College</a> of Medicine <a href="/facts/Human_Genome/VTV85pbn">Human Genome</a> Sequencing Center.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> </p> <h3>Data</h3> <p>The now archived site hosts the genome sequence for <i>apis mellifera</i> along with those of the following pathogens:<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> </p> <ul><li><i><a href="/facts/Bombus_terrestris/HSYlD4u8">Bombus terrestris</a></i></li> <li><i><a href="/facts/Bombus_impatiens/keVXapwX">Bombus impatiens</a></i></li></ul> <p>Two additional species were under analysis:<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> </p> <ul><li><i><a href="/facts/Apis_dorsata/VlQ2gcvM">Apis dorsata</a></i></li> <li><i><a href="/facts/Apis_florea/KjG8doed">Apis florea</a></i></li></ul> <h2 id="see-also">See also</h2> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Wormbase/vUkJdykd">Wormbase</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Flybase/23EKKvl3">Flybase</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Xenbase/c2EFotmu">Xenbase</a></li></ul> <h2 id="external-links">External links</h2> <ul><li><a href="http://hymenopteragenome.org/beebase/">BeeBase</a></li></ul> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>BeeBase website - http://hymenopteragenome.org/beebase/ <a href="http://hymenopteragenome.org/beebase/" target="_blank">http://hymenopteragenome.org/beebase/</a> <a href="#fnref:1" class="footnote-back-ref">↩</a></p></li> <li id="fn:2"><p>Elsik, C.
